TRAIL OF THE LONESOME PINE
(ON THE TRAIL OF THE LONESOME PINE )
(IN THE BLUE RIDGE MOUNTAINS OF VIRGINIA)
by Ballard MacDonald & Harold Carroll 1913

Chorus:
IN THE BLUE RIDGE MOUNTAINS OF VIRGINIA
ON THE TRAIL OF THE LONESOME PINE
IN THE PALE MOON SHINE OUR HEARTS ENTWINED
WHERE SHE CARVED HER NAME AND I CARVED MINE
OH JUNE, LIKE THE MOUNTAINS I'M BLUE
LIKE THE PINE, I AM LONESOME FOR YOU
IN THE BLUE RIDGE MOUNTAINS OF VIRGINIA
ON THE TRAIL OF THE LONESOME PINE

Verse 1:
ON A MOUNTAIN IN VIRGINIA STANDS A LONESOME PINE
JUST BELOW IS THE CABIN HOME OF THAT LITTLE GIRL OF MINE
HER NAME IS JUNE AND VERY VERY SOON SHE'LL BELONG TO ME
FOR I KNOW SHE'S WAITING THERE FOR ME 'NEATH THAT LONE PINE TREE

Repeat chorus
  
Verse 2:
I CAN HEAR THE TINKLING WATERFALL FAR AMONG THE HILLS
BLUEBIRDS SINGING EACH SO MERRILY TO HIS MATE IN RAPTURE TRILLS
THEY SEEM TO SAY 'YOUR JUNE IS LONESOME TOO' LONGING FILLS HER EYES
SHE IS WAITING FOR YOU PATIENTLY WHERE THE PINE TREE SIGHS

Repeat chorus
